X17 Was First - Paris Is Free!

Posted on Thu Jun 7th, 2007 7:11am PDT By X17 Staff

You heard it here first yesterday, but today you'll be hearing it everywhere - Paris Hilton is coming home! In just a few minutes, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will be holding a press conference to explain the circumstances behind the hotel heiress' quick release from prison. Could the state have decided that Paris had suffered enough? Or might the Governator actually have listened to the online petitions for Paris' release?

X17 contacted Paris' publicist Elliot Mintz last night to see if he could confirm the story but he replied, "I will no be making any statements about Paris until she is released ...." So we're calling him again now!

There were about 10 paps stationed outside Lynwood jail last night after rumors of Paris' release started circulating, but everyone from Team X17 said they weren't able to see anything of the celebutante's big exit. Their story seems to be backed up by the total absence of pictures or video in every other corner of the media - every TV and print outlet on the planet's been looking for a good shot of Paris checking out of the Lynwood Hilton and so far, it seems like there are none.

But X17 is on the case and we'll bring you the latest and we get it!
